OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in q
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of

Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and

noting the digestion and assimilation Of

It would be impossible for ne to de-
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time l began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Twas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-

duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
